Horse welfare is a priority at Wolverhampton. At every meeting there are two specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all the horses in action. One vet is present at the start of each race and during the race follows the runners in a vehicle. Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. The second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse. It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy Please do not assume the worst

KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained
Each horse is given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed
HHHII By no means without a chance
HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims
HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope
IIIII Can be given little or no chance
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating

NIKKI’S GIRL ran out the decisive winner of a C&D handicap in August and, if resuming in a similar mood following a two-month break, she will take plenty of stopping. Though his recent form figures do not inspire confidence, Master of Combat is interesting back at this course off a reduced mark.

It may pay to keep the faith with STAR PLAYER, who hasn’t really progressed this season but he’s now on a good mark, judged both on his 2-y-o exploits and his solid effort at Pontefract during the summer This will be just his second run on the all-weather. Paternoster Square clearly has his limitations but there’s certainly ability there and it could be that the first-time blinkers here will help him channel it more effectively If so, he could emerge as the main threat ahead of Reputation.

GANNON GLORY landed a claimer over 6f here in August and, not for the first time, shaped as though this trip is worth exploring when staying on into fourth in a handicap back here (again at 6f) 10 days ago He gets the nod ahead of Fools And Horses, who arrives here on the back of a couple of decent efforts on turf and she surely has a race in her off this sort of mark. Flatley is also considered and an on-song The Cruising Lord would be a threat, too.

The one who appeals most is EL TESORO, who shaped better than the bare result when returning from a break on debut for new connections at Southwell last month. He should be sharper now, plus he’s been eased 3lb and dropping back to the minimum trip looks a good move. Man On A Mission hasn’t made much of an impact on turf the last twice but he boasts a solid all-weather record and is feared, along with Murbih, who has been knocking on the door of late Birkenhead could also have a part to play.
